Embracing the use of Technology and Sustainable practices, the firm’s projects create exceptionally humane environments. The firm’s design philosophy emphasizes a clear expression of the client’s program, a micro‑master planning analysis of the character of the site, a respect for the subtle qualities of the land, and the need for honoring a sense of place. Energy efficient practices include optimizing the building’s orientation to control solar loads while maximizing day lighting and natural ventilation.

Other sustainable features include high performance building envelopes and the use of indigenous materials. Diverse in scale, character and visual expression, Carvell Architects has won many AIA and industry design awards for excellence. Among them, the Broadway/Renaissance Downtown Lofts was recognized as one of 14 projects in North America as a finalist for ULI’s Global Awards for Excellence in 2019.
